I suspect its a combination of not wanting to use GFX on that plus a general lack of lanky actors. There aren't many roles for someone who has a 'belter' physique.

Yularen is a great example of an extended nod to the fans. I bet 99% of the people who watched Clone Wars and Rebels completely miss that its the same character and even among those who do notice they probably dont further connect him to the Death Star.

I even thought when Trip and Mack met in the Framework : "Uh oh... this can't be good...something tragic is gonna happen now"

I am expecting they will announce the inevitable DLC / plot extension sometime in the next week or so.

Well keep in mind that a whole hell of a lot of people have been killed in order for Cambridge to be that empty. Offred, if given the chance, still thinks like her smart-phone using working woman self, but maintains the act because those who don't end up dead. So you have a society where...

It seems clear that

The old-tier fast food joints need to figure out a way to get their franchisees to toe the line. There is such a massive difference by location for even the most basic of foods from these versus the fast casual which are lock-step identical no matter where you go.

I showed it to someone and thought I might have to explain some bits afterward as he is unfamiliar with the source material, but he followed along quite well and picked up on all the important beats. He has read Sandman, however, and so is familiar with the Neil Gaiman narrative legerdemain.

It wasn't more than a couple weeks ago we were reminiscing over burgers (since it got stupid hot here in New England for this time of the year) and brought up the DeLuxe line of craptacular burgers. We were talking about how McDs was pushing towards fresh meat for their quarter pounders and...

Signature Crafted Recipes | McDonald's Good lord McDonald's, will you NEVER learn? The critical missing element of your existing business model is not 'signature/deluxe/artisinal' burgers! Just make sure every franchisee sells only consistently hot fries and basic burgers with beef that...

Now begins the process of sitting everyone I know down in front of a screen so as to share the collective experience. Starz execs must be bouncing off the walls in sure bliss this AM.

Well that was fucking awesome. I've been a fan of the guy who plays Mad Sweeny ever since he was in season 2 of "The Wire". Ian McShane is perfect as Mr. Wednesday, and Shadow Moon is doing a great job. When I first read the novel I knew it would be great as a long form series but had no idea...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He's the guy that Harry impersonates when sneaking into the Ministry of Magic. No we have heard references to Fitz's dad but this is the first we actually see him

Watched the first three episodes and it seems quite good so far. I am a bit surprised by how many SJWs are coming out and bashing the show... it is as if they don't understand what the fuck allegory is. Then again they probably would have gone batshit insane at All in the Family as well.

DC Entertainment to Launch Its Own Streaming Service with Greg Berlanti's Titans So this is back from the grave and part of the new streaming service Warner is making with DC content. As mentioned in the article Young Justice series 3 is also going to this 'channel'

I will say that it helps immensely if you have grown up / lived in the midwest and thus recognize many of the places that are mentioned / visited.

Yeah the World of Pandora seems like a huge mistake. Granted Animal Kingdom was always intended to have fantasy elements when first conceived, but this just isn't going to be the kind of draw necessary. No one below the age of 16 even remembers Avatar at this point.

The closed beta is now on and so I thought "eh maybe" and looked to see what sort of 'founder's packs' were available. The pricepoint is pretty grim for anything but the Deadpool or WarMachine packs and I don't have a heck of a lot of interest in either character. It wasn't immediately clear...

Avatar brought back 3D and for that it will always be heralded as a watershed moment in Cinematic distribution. Suddenly exhibitors had a mechanism by which they could jack up ticket prices far faster than they would have been able to otherwise. It really halted and then reversed the collapse...

The finale made me love Amos even more. I wasn't sure at the start of season 1, but he is easily the most nuanced guy on the show and played very well.

Now the various tabloids in Britain are saying David Bradley will be in the Xmas special playing the 1st Doctor (as he did in the Adventures in Time and Space docudrama for the 50th anniversary) as 1st and 12 team up. Course that doesn't jive with the other news that 12 regenerates before the...

The best possible scenario here is that the Writer's Guild goes out on strike and CBS uses that as an excuse to deep six this whole mess and come back in 18 months with some radically different idea.

This looks great but a bit disappointing that the new Kickstarter won't ship until the end of Summer. Was hoping to be able to play this with people before they all scatter to the 4 corners.

FreeForm is indeed the latest regeneration of the Family Channel and always makes me think of SOE's FreeRealms kiddie MMO whenever I see the logo. Surprising that the budget is that high, but then again I think Disney is trying to push more people to check out the channel since the recent brand...

Marvel's Cloak and Dagger Genre: Action & Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy First Aired: 2018-01-01 Overview: Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is a coming-of-age series based on the beloved Marvel characters. Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson come from starkly different backgrounds, each growing...

FreeForm, so they probably won't have much in the way of budget but intriguing to see Disney making more use of the MCU on TV.

Title: Marvel's Cloak & Dagger Genre: Action & Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy First aired: 2018-06-07 Creator: Joe Pokaski Cast: Aubrey Joseph, Olivia Holt, Deric Augustine, Noëlle Renée Bercy, Andrea Roth, Gloria Reuben, Miles Mussenden, James Saito, Carl Lundstedt, J.D...

Today is the day the Patriots are visiting the White House following the Superbowl win. Perhaps he was overcome with the reality of how his life took a wrong turn and decided to just stop.

Anyone else feel that they fully intended for Bill Paxton to be the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the framework when they were first breaking out the story? Everyone else is quite different in the framework but Mace is pretty much just himself.

This is probably the one occasion where IP of this magnitude is so completely balkanized across a variety of rights holders. I doubt there will ever be another chunk of fictional intellectual property that is so completed scattered. It is a testimony to the deal makers at Disney that they've...

It is, to me anyway, interesting the degree to which Thor's story is almost totally parallel to the rest of the MCU after being so central in Phase 1. Whereas Captain America and Iron Man are deeply entrenched within the big-picture of the Avengers, nearly everything Thor does in Age of Ultron...

Yeah it is interesting that whereas the first 50 years were dominated by a near-continuous stream of un-interrupted adventures it seems as if the last few years have been full of several decade / century stints of the Doctor hanging out in various places before getting roped into new adventures.

So this is, apparently, now a fall series at best and possibly delayed even longer due to the myriad problems they have been facing ever since they switched show runners. I kinda wonder if CBS isn't going to just punt on the whole thing. It sure seems like a recipe for disaster. As someone...

"Lord of the Sith" was a title attached to Vader in the original screenplay and subsequently used in the Star Wars novelization. Since it was easier to have that novelization readily at hand in the pre-VCR era many people became used to the idea of there being something that was the "Sith" and...

Does seem to confirm our suspicions about "the balance" being key and that the worldview of the Sith and Jedi is far too narrow to do the Force justice.

Okay I'm not at a good audio setup... what are the words that Yoda etc. are saying in the background. Enhance damnit!!

From Ganymede Jupiter would have an angular diameter of about 400 arc minutes. In contrast the angular diameter of the Moon from Earth is 31 arc minutes. If you held your hand out at arms length and made devil-horns with your fingers outstretched then that would be close to the size of...

They really have come a long way from the first season monster-of-the-week / crappy Deathlok business. Granted part of that was due to the Winter Soldier embargo and the Hydra reveal, but they certainly have embraced their role as a distinct adjacent part of the MCU. "Aida" makes an excellent...

She was also a Quarian Admiral in Mass Effect 2 & 3
